FOR THOSE THAT WANT TO KNOW HOW "MY LINE" WORKS
<HR style="COLOR: #fdde82" SIZE=1><!-- / icon and title --><!-- message -->ITS BASE ON FOUR THING
1..LINE-OFF
2..TIME
3..PENALTIES
4..TURN OVER ONLY BY THE TEAM

LINE-OFF
THE DIFF BETWEEN WHAT THE ODDS MAKER GIVE AND WHAT REALLY HAPPENS

LET'S TAKE(LAST WEEK GAME BETWEEN GB AND ATL....

THE LINE WAS ATL-9.....WHAT HAPPEN WAS GB WON BY 8+THE LINE9=17
"THE LINE WAS OFF 17 POINTS
THIS HAPPENS EACH WEEK AND EACH GAME

SO YOU GIVE GB A +17 IN THEIR WEEK AND YOU GIVE ATL -17 IN THEIR WEEK.....YOU DO THIS EVERY WEEK

THIS IS ATL............TOTAL

PRESEASON +10
WK1............+ 6........+16
WK2............-2..........+14
WK3............+10.......+24
WK4............+14.......+38
WK5...........-6...........+32
WK6...........-3...........+29
WK7...........+6...........+35
WK8...........BYE
WK9............+5.........+40
WK10..........-17........+23

GB ....DOING THE SAME THING TO THEM IS A +44

SO YOU FIND THE DIFF/ +44 +23 = 21 FOR GB(HIGHEST NUMBER GETS THE POINTS)....THAN YOU DIV BY 10= 2.1 POINT FOR GB (ONE RULE DIFF....IF ITS OVER 50 POINTS /DIFF YOU DIV IT IN HALF...THAN DIV IT BY 100)

THAT MEAN BASE ONLY ON "LINE-OFF G.B IS FAV BY 2.1 POINTS



TIME

IF ONE TEAM HAS 32 MIN THAT THE O-LINE STAYS ON THE FIELD THEY HAVE A +2.....THE OTHER TEAM HAS A -2

DO THAT EACH WEEK......AS OF WEEK 10 GB IS +6 VS ATL+3=3 FOR GB DIV BY 5=.6 FOR GB

ADD THAT TO LINE-OFF 2.1 + .6 = 2.7 THATS GB IS FAV BY WITH JUST TWO OF THE 4 THING!!!!


PENALTIES

THIS ONE IS EASY

ATL HAS 615 YDS VS GB 618 YDS =3 FOR ATL(LESS IS BETTER HERE)
NOW YOU DIV THAT BY 100 =0 IN THIS CASE(IF IT WAS 150YDS DIFF...IT WOULD MEAN A 1 1/2 FOR ATL....BUT ITS NOT)


TURN OVERS

GB AFTER WEEK 10 HAS 22 VS ATL THAT HAS 15 = 7 FOR ATL(LESS IS BETTER HERE) YOU DIV THAT BY 3 =2.3 FOR ATL

SO

IF THIS GAME WAS PLAYED THIS WEEK (WEEK 11)

YOU WOULD

LINE-OFF G.B 2.1
TIME G.B 0.6
PEN.............EV
T/O.........ATL 2.3

DO THE MATH AND YOU GET GB FAV BY .4.....OR ROUND UP OR DOWN

GB -1/2.....IF THEY PLAY IN GB GB WOULD BE -1......IF THEY PLAY AT ATL IT WOULD BE A PK GAME


THIS IS HOW I GET "MY LINE"......I HAVE WORK ON THIS FOR OVER 15 YEARS....MOST OF THE TIME 80% THE LINE IS RIGHT ON BY 1-2 POINTS.....THE ONES THAT ARE 6 POINTS OR MORE I LOOK AT CLOSER

THIS ONLY TELL YOU WHERE THE MOST VALUE IS....YOU STILL HAVE TO DO THE OTHER CAPPING.....MATCH UP....RY....PY....GIVEWAY...TAKEWAY....D-LINE.... O-LINE....SO ON ...ECT....

SOME OF YOU WANTED TO KNOW HOW I GET IT SO LET THE ????? BEGAIN.....THIS IS NOT THAT HARD!!!!

THE LAST 11YEARS I HAVE DONE THIS I WON 9 YEARS AND LOST 2

1998 I LOST -$35,555.00.....IN 2001 I LOST $14,105.00... THE OTHER WINNING YEARS WAS BETWEEN $6500 TO $56,000
56K WAS IN 2002...

LAST YEAR ONE OF THE POSTER AT THERX,WORK WITH ME TO PUT THIS ON A SPEADSHEET.. IT TOOK A FEW MO'S FOR THIS TO WORK FOR HIM.... DONT ASK THEM FOR ONE!!!! THIS IS ABOUT DOING IT ON PAPER!!!!

MY HOPE IS TO TEACH THIS SO YOU DONT NEED ME ANY MORE....I'M OVER 50 YEARS OLD AND STILL HAVE 30 MORE GOOD YEARS AHEAD OF ME.....


WHY DID YOU DO IT THIS WAY...
THIS DONT WORK WITH "TIME" OR "LINE-OFF"....OR EVEN PENALTIES???

I HAVE ADJUSTED THIS OVER AND OVER TO COME UP WITH FORMULA

THIS THREAD IS ONLY FOR PLAYERS THAT WANT TO KNOW HOW IT WORKS

ACE ACE, present for day 1 of aceschool. First off thanks for sharing your stuff it is very interesting to say the least and of course your record speaks for itself. I post at another forum but I always slip by here to see what the rx crew has to say, good core group here.

My first question is when does your line kick in or how many weeks of data do you need to get comfortable with your formula ?


Oh yeah I just turned 51 the other day so I only have 30 years to get this right as well,lol.

THERE ARE 4 THING TO MY LINE.....1ST ONE


LINE OFF


LETS GO BACK TO THE PLAYOFFS

DEN VS NE

DEN TOTAL LINE OFF IS+98 NE IS +17....THE DIFF////IS 81 FOR DEN

FORMULA

81 DIV BY 10 = DEN -8.1......PART OF THE LINE



..............................................................................................

TIME

TOTAL TIME AT THIS POINT WAS
NE +6 VS DEN +30.......THE DIFF////// I 24 FOR DENVER

FORMULA

24 DIV BY 5=4.8 FOR DENVER ADD THAT TO LINEOFF
AND YOU GET DEN -12.9...SO FAR WITH TWO MORE FACTOR TO GO



.................................................................................................

PENALTIES.....

TOTAL PENALTIES AT THIS POINT

DEN 850 YDS VS NE 988 YDS .......DIFF///138 YDS FOR DENVER

FORMULA

138 YDS DIV BY 100 = 1.4 FOR DENVER

ADD THAT TO WHAT YOU GOT 1.4 +TIME 4.8 +LINEOFF 8.1=14.3

ONE MORE TO GO

.......................................................................................

TURN OVERS

DEN GOT 20 VS NE 26 - 6 FOR DENVER (HERE LESS IS BETTER)

FORMULA

6 DIV BY 3 =2 FOR DENVER

ADD THAT AND YOU GOT DENVER -16 1/2....AND THAT MY LINE""""

THE LINE ON THE GAME WAS DEN -3
SO THIS WAS A VALUE OF +13 1/2 POINTS!!!!

DENVER WON AND COVER27-13 BY 14 POINT


IF THIS WAS THIS WAY....

AS YOU SEE DENVER WON EACH OF THE 4 THING I LOOK FOR

BUT "IF"

T/O WAS DEN 28 VS NE 13 =15 DIV BY 3= 5 FOR N.E.

THIS IS WHAT YOU WOULD HAVE

LINE OFF DEN 8.1
TIME DEN 4.8
PENTALT DEN 1.4
T/O ......N.E. 5
TOTAL WOULD BE DENVER -6 1/2
SO ...ON....ECT....ECT


.........................................................................................

AFTER YOU FIND VALUE IN A GAME...

MYLINE IS ONLY 50% OF WHAT I LOOK FOR
NOW
YOU HAVE TO DO ALL THE OTHER CAPPING

I DO NOT FACTOR IN HOME FIELD IN FOOTBALL
LAST YEAR AS IN MOST YEAR ITS EVEN
AWAY AND HOME
LAST YEAR IT WAS 129 HOME WINS ATS
...........................127 AWAY WINS ATS

YOU GUY HAVE 5 MO'S TO SET THIS UP VS PAPER OR SPREADSHEETS....

MY GOAL IS FOR YOU TO SEE HOW I DO "MYLINE"

THERE IS A PERSON FROM THE UK THAT
is a very intelligent person. You I put in the same category as you
have worked that system well. Jeremy's expertise is stats etc and he is a
wizard at excel programmes


WITH HIS HELP AND OTHER THAT WANT TO TRY IT
DO CFB NEXT YEAR WITH "MY LINE"

YOU CANT DO 110 TEAM ON PAPER....OR YOU WOULD NOT HAVE A LIFE:Sad Face: ...IF THIS WORKS I WILL BE DOING IT ON EXCEL ALSO!!!!

SAME FORMULA IF YOU WANT TO TRY IT....
I MAY PUT HOME FIELD INTO CFB...NOT SURE
I NEED TO TEST IT FOR A BIT....

Ace, I was going to email you this but I am sure someone will ask so I will post it. Can all these stats etc be found on jimfeist.? I know they will probably have none at the moment as the season is finished...

Thanks in advance and my friend make some time for yourself!!!

I wish you and your family a safe and blessed evening....

Where do you usually get all of your data, ace? NFL.com?

Thanks for the insights, my friend.

Seems simple enough, but lots of things seem simple until you actually try them! :p

Thank you for posting this, Ace-Ace, and I look forward to the NFL season.

WOOOH! GO TEXANS!

So, you need to wait until the second week of the preseason before you can add input to all of the fields?

I DO THE LAST TWO WEEKS AVG....IF DET GET T/O OF 3 IN WEEK 3 AND 5 IN WEEK 4...I WOULD PUT DOWN 4....A AVG
SAME FOR LINEOFF
SAME FOR TIME
SAME FOR PENALTIES

IT WILL GET YOU UP BY THE 3RD WEK OF THE REG/SEASON:suomi:

ACE- just wanted to clarify something. One of your criteria for getting your line is "time". In one thread you said that if one team has 32 minutes of time in a game, they get +2 points and the other team gets -2 points. But, in another thread you said they get 3 points (+or-). Which one is it?

Also, you gave an example of Denver Total Line Off was +98 vs. New England +17 for a difference of 81. You divided that by 10 to get Denver -8.1. However, you said that if the total was over 50 you divided that number in half and then divide by 100 which would be Denver -4. (81/2=40.5 then 40.5/100=.4) Which is the correct way?

I am just trying to learn from you and I appreciate all the help?

for TIME, there's 60 min in game, so just say avg is 30 min for each team. the number a team gets is how far +/- its from the avg of 30. so

so if one team had 35, the other had to have 25. this case it would be +5/-5

Thanks ats - so ever what team has the largest time then would be the plus # and the lowest team would be the negative #. Ex: Denver held the ball for 38 minutes and Buffalo held it for 22 minutes. Then Denver would be +8 and Buffalo would be -8? Is this the correct way to figure it?

ACE,

is there a minimum value your looking for between your line vs vegas line?
like NBA value has to be at least 6

BlueLab I don't think that is correct. When entering numbers by team just put in their time of possession. There are no plus and minus numbers when enterring team data. The difference comes when comparing 2 teams. One has a time of 62 minutes the other 50 =12. Just an example. When in doubt check with the boss.-

ctp - according to ACE there is a plus or minus when based on time. In his example he gives one team a +3 and the other team a -3 based on who had the the ball the longest. Ace could you clarify this?

i think CTP mixed up Time and Penalties
you keep a running total for penalty yds, but for time you just keep total of just +/- diff each game

bluelab, thats right. its just basically the diff from 30, if team has # higher than 30, they get + and the team with lower # gets -
example:
say team has ball 35 min in week 1, they get +5. week 2 they have ball for 36 min=+6, week3 have 27 min=-3. so the team's paper would look like this if just looking at time:
wk....time.....totaltime
1......+5........+5
2.......+6........+11
3......-3.........+8

time=is actual difference of timeofpossesion for just that week
total time= is running total for season's combined time diff. total time is what you use in the formula to come up with your line for new week

Thanks ats - that just answered my question! However can you explain when the difference between the "line off" number comes up over the number 50? Could you give me an example with a number over and under 50 using the formula! Thanks!

see where line-off may be confusing for over 50, first in GB-atl example he says divide by 2 then by 100 (think typo and should be 10). then for example den-ne playoff gm he just divides by 10.

I think it should be, but need to check this with ace:
when its under 50 divide by 10
when its over 50, think divide by 2, then divide by 10


in NBA
under 50, divide by 2 then by 10
over 50, divide by 2 twice then by 10
